237 Acting Pitiful
Yu Han patted Bai Chao’s shoulder sympathetically. “If you ask me, you really still have sister-in-law in your heart and if you still want to live your life, you should find some time to coax her. Girls can’t wait that long. If she’s not around when your production team is done, you’ll really be on the brink of tears.”
When Bai Chao heard her words, he recalled that the last time he and his wife met, it was his wife who had pushed him out of the house with his luggage. She had said something like, “Since you like to film that lousy movie of yours, go out and film it well enough.” He was a little tempted and wanted to go home.
...However, how could he just let go of the matter of the production team?
Reality brought Bai Chao back to his senses. Only then did he realize that he was clearly trying to persuade Yu Han, but in the end, he was almost led into a ditch by her. He glanced at her angrily. “You’re just trying to fool me. You want me to give the production team a day off and give you a day off so that you can go out and fool around.”
Seeing that she could not fool Bai Chao, Yu Han sighed. “Sigh, what a pity. I almost succeeded.”
Bai Chao was so angry that he laughed. “I’m talking about you. You really admitted it.” She couldn’t even be bothered to give an excuse.
Yu Han patted his shoulder and said earnestly, “Old Bai, although I’m suspected of lying to you, as a woman, what I said just now was indeed not nonsense, so I suggest you take it as a reference.”
In order to reassure Old Bai, she even raised her hand and swore. “And I promise you that I’m not going to date this time. I really have something on.”
She glanced at He Meng, who was still talking on the phone not far away, and said pitifully, “You know my background too. Although I look like a rich second-generation heir, my father doesn’t dote on me, and my mother isn’t around. Although my uncles treat me quite well, there’s still a layer between us. Moreover, they have their own families. They can’t always take care of me.”
The fight between Yu Han and the Qin siblings had only happened recently, so Bai Chaoyan still remembered it clearly. “But what does this have to do with what you want to do behind your manager’s back?”
Yu Han scratched her nose in embarrassment. “My scumbag father cut off my allowance a long time ago.”
Bai Chao instantly understood what she meant. Although it was said that the profession of an artist was very profitable, this was only for slightly famous actors. For example, Bai Chao knew that there were many sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth-tier actors. Their remuneration was really quite low, and their jobs were extremely unstable.
For example, in his movie, although Yuan Fei was the second female lead and had a lot of scenes, because she was an inexperienced newcomer, her remuneration for the entire movie was only about 100,000 yuan.
The filming of this movie would take about two months. After deducting the tax, she could get about 60,000 yuan because she did not sign a contract with a management company and didn’t have to pay commission.
Logically speaking, the average monthly salary should be more than 20,000 yuan, which was much better than ordinary office workers. But in reality? For not-so-famous actors like them, the most fatal thing was that after this job was over, they did not know when they would get the next job.
If they were unlucky, they might only have this one job for the next year. Calculating, it was even worse than ordinary workers. After all, actors’ daily expenses would be higher than ordinary people’s, and this was based on the fact that there was no agency’s commission.
However, even so, there were still many actors who rushed forward and even paid to get a chance to appear on screen. This was also why people said that newcomers who had just debuted were mostly people with some family background. After all, this industry was still quite unfriendly to the poor. It was even more difficult for them to make a name for themselves.
Of course, since Yu Han was able to sign a contract with He Meng, a famous manager, and had such a rich uncle, she naturally wouldn’t worry about three meals. However, this didn’t mean that she had money in her hands.
Before filming, Bai Chao had specially gone to find out about the job she had taken after her debut. After thinking about it, he roughly knew that although she had become famous, she was still slow to cash out. Therefore, she was still at the stage where she could not make ends meet.
He looked at Yu Han. “You can’t do something stupid for money.”
“This is a serious matter,” Yu Han said indignantly. “I participated in a competition and was nominated for the finals, so I need some time to participate in the finals.”
Bai Chao was even more confused. “That’s a good thing. Then why did you hide it from your manager?” Why did she do it so sneakily, making him worry for so long?
